It's Swatch You Make Of It 📚
Lol, who else has a MASSIVE backlog of inks to swatch? The last time I did any was back during TPA Slack's Inkvent, which was like... half a year ago RIP. And then once you swatch all your bottles you realize you have 5x as many samples to get through and then before you finish all those you get more ink bottles and samples and it just never ennnnnndddddds. Hella meditative tho, which is part of why I enjoy swatching when I do. I used to do the "scribble and q-tip in a notebook" method when I first got into fountain pens, but nowadays I prefer using a pipette, a glass nib dip pen, and Col-O-Rings. What's your setup?
